why are the keyboard and mouse so cheap? Already replaced my keyboard with a lighted Logitech

Thank you for contacting us. The accessories is the item that Acer sent with it. We are unaware to why your keyboard did not function properly.

Troy may be right. Leaving the USB connected 24/7 may kill the battery. My arrow keys quit after 3 months. Next day the delete key reversed directions! Then the illumination keys quit. Logitech doesn't offer replacement batteries and I think mine is shot.

I didn't get the keyboard. I got the mouse, the mouse is worth the cost, but it also isn't a hundred bucks... I can''t speak for the keyboard. I am currently using the steelseries gaming keyboard, with the dedicated gaming zone on the left. It is pretty nice. It took some getting used to. Mostly because there are duplicates of many of the keys and everything is kind of jammed together. I like it now though.

Sorry, ahnundh, the basic Iogear KVM does not seem to recognize the Logitech illuminated keyboard. Not lighted, not unlighted, not at all....

I have an inexpensive($8.00) Logitech M215 wireless. Works just fine for most applications, the touch pad is okay. I just adjusted the settings until I felt comfortable with it. The keyboard is pretty close to fullsize (minus the number pad).

Mouse and keyboards work...gamepads work...usb flash drives and hard drives are very hit and miss

I've never had problems with these functionally speaking. I've been using my original keyboard and mouse that i purchased 4 or 5 years ago I think. I've got 3 of these sets; one on my Mac, one on my work pc at home, and a third at my office. I've never had any connection problems with any of them, except when the batteries start to die. when that happens, the battery light will flash on the keyboard and you'll lose characters as you type. The mouse will suddenly stop working, but it's fine as soon as you replace the batteries. Not sure if there's any notification of low batteries, on the mouse but there's no lights on top that i've noticed. The only issues i have with these keyboards is that Logitech had to have changed the material they use for the keys. The keys on the newer keyboards start to wear off after 4 or 5 months. for me, it's always the A, N, L and S keys first. the first keyboard i got a few years back is fine. the good thing is that if you keep your receipt with them or register them, logitech will replace it for free. you have to take some pictures of the keys and a code they give you and send it in, but they will give you a new one. they advised that they don't have key replacements, so you're basically throwing out a good keyboard. i'm apparently too anal to deal with the faded letters... but I don't see myself swapping to any other keyboards/mice anytime soon. hope that helps :-)

I use the wireless Logitech K800 illuminated keyboard. I love it! It's full size, low profile and the backlighting is superb. The normal price is $79.99 at Office Max but I got it 1/2 off several months ago. Since then I've not been able to find it anywhere. I wanted to buy another- even at full price it's worth it. I ended up buying another small wireless keyboard from Office Max. It's about half the size fo a regular keyboard. I miss the light up keys. btw, I also have a wireless mouse plugged in for when I'm going to use the Internet on the TV for a long time. I have 2 of these Sony Google TVs and use wireless keyboards and mice with both.

I sent mine back and went to a wired solution for the keyboard. There were too many issues with it to be counted. The biggest is that it has a small footprint and I have large hands. The other reasons were lag times. I know that wired is old school for my desktop this was the best solution. My laptop I use its kb. I hope this helps.

I have it in a very cheap keyboard now but I can't see why it would not work with the Logitech.

No issues at this time, however, I have disabled the keyboard lighting. The mouse does not last that long though, perhaps 5-6 days before it requires a charge. The keyboard battery is long lasting. I like this combo, just wish the mouse lasted a tad bit longer. Hope this helpes

I don't have a specific answer for you, but I have found this keyboard and mouse fairly unstable. The cursor jumps around and there are delays from keystokes to screen. I once found a new driver to download. If you haven't searched the Logitech website, you might want to do that.

I have not replaced the keyboard and mouse. But yes a Bluetooth or USB mouse and keyboard would work.

Anker offers the mouse and keyboard as a combo for $30 on Amazon, and there is ONE USB key that receives from BOTH. I'd bet that if you got the items individually, only one receiver would be necessary.

I wanted to replace the Logitech K350 2.4Ghz Wireless Keyboard as it takes quite some effort to type (cleaning the keys has not helped significantly). The Microsoft sculpt worked better in that respect but since it broke down so soon I am going to stick with Logitech mouse and keyboard.

Chances are, it's most likely your power cord/adapter. I work at a Radio Shack and we sell that same lighted keyboard. You can check it by taking the keyboard into a Radio Shack, and they'll be able to look at the power adapter, test it, and recommend a replacement which is part of their store stock. Average price of a power adapter like that should be anywhere from 15 to 30 bucks. :-)

The keyboard and mouse are not physically connected. Once the radio dongle is inserted in a USB slot they are simultaneously recognized. BTW, although I use the keyboard and mouse combination every day, I find the batteries tend not to need to be replaced more than once a month.
